IDF to Recruit Jewish Youths from Abroad for Tech Roles

The Algemeiner reports: JNS.org – The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) will soon begin recruiting Jewish youths from abroad to serve in technological roles in the military’s Computer Service Directorate.

The recruitment program will be similar to the IDF’s existing Garin Tzabar program, which caters to Jews who choose to immigrate to Israel and serve in the army. The new program has been dubbed Garin Lotam.

In recent days, the IDF launched a marketing initiative to attract potential recruits from the U.S. In May, the military is expected to convene its first orientation seminar for those who show interest. At the seminar, the potential recruits will undergo initial screenings, and those who pass will be brought to Israel this summer.
